In the rat, the secretion of GH is episodic and sexually dimorphic. The
development and regulation of this patterning of GH secretion are governed
by the reciprocal influence of the hypothalamic peptide ...

The activity of both somatostatin (SS) and GH-releasing hormone (GHRH)
neurons within several hypothalamic nuclei is regulated, in part, by the
feedback effects of GH. However, whether GH, or its intermediate,
...

Galanin is colocalized with GnRH in neurons of the hypothalamus and basal
forebrain of female rats, and this neuropeptide may play a role in the
generation of the midcycle surge of gonadotropin secretion. We ...

Kisspeptins are products of the KiSS-1 gene, which bind to a G
protein-coupled receptor known as GPR54. Mutations or targeted disruptions
in the GPR54 gene cause hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in humans and ...
